Great comments and suggestions by all. Not sure moving it around will generate more interest? I love track and field but I've seen the sparse crowds and lack of interest at other venues nationwide. I say, keep it where there is a legitimate love and knowledge base here in Eugene (TrackCity USA). Pasadena has the Rose Bowl, Omaha has the CWS, Churchill Downs has the Kentucky Derby. Historic Hayward Field should keep the trials. Just my two cents.....

hasa....no question! I love and support the Ducks and have had season football tickets for nearly 20 years. The ticket prices went up 13% in the last year and has doubled since 2005. I have spoken to many Duck season ticket holders who have had to make tough choices and turnover their season tickets because they just can't afford it. This is the first time that I can remember that there are actually season tickets available? Can't imagine you would want to expand a stadium when the athletic department isn't taking care of loyal fans. I guess it is the sign of times, everything is more expensive. However, if the demand is as great as it seems, then why are season tickets available now? Not the time to expand!! GO DUCKS.

Best of luck to Carson Kelly in his pursuit of a career in the Major Leagues. He's very talented and should get all of the best training and resources to fulfill his dream of playing Major League baseball. I would say his contract and signing bonus worth 1.6 million is a great opportunity and good decision. I would have loved to see him play for Oregon but I think he would have been crazy to pass up the opportunity to develop as a baseball player and earn a big paycheck. College will always be there should it not work out down the road.

Horton's track record speaks for itself. Take care of his contract and start preparing for next season. Need to keep recruiting well and keep the momentum going. Good year, looking forward to next year! GO DUCKS!

Good season Ducks! This season far exceeded expectations and this team came close to getting to Omaha. It was a fun season and a tremendous post season. Both Oregon schools should be proud of the baseball being played here in the Northwest. Thanks again to the Beavers for having success in '06 and '07 because without it, Oregon wouldn't have their baseball program back. This Duck fan will admit it. I can't wait until next season, it was a fun ride. GO DUCKS!

Reed, Thorpe and Sherfy were terrific tonight. What a game tonight. These first two games have been unbelievable with big catches and terrific pitching. PK was rocking again. Can't until tomorrow! Gutty, gritty incredible baseball by both teams trying to get to Omaha. GO DUCKS!!!!

Tough loss! Oregon played poorly and got their lunch handed to them by a team who has now won 21 straight games. I loved their heart and grit as they attempted to make a comeback. PK was rocking and the fans did everything they could to carry Oregon to a win. Win tomorrow or season is over. You can do it. GO DUCKS!!!

Great season Beavers! You took it from our Ducks last weekend and played your butts of in Baton Rouge. The Beavers have a great coach and an excellent young team that will be even better next year. You should have hosted a Regional and got probably the toughest road draw of the post season. You should be proud of this team, the way they battled and represented Oregon State University and the state of Oregon.

Tip your hat to Austin Peay, that is a very tough way to lose a game. PK park was rocking in the ninth, no question in my mind JJ was tagged out even from where I was sitting along the first base line. The picture from the Emerald says it all. As a Duck fan, I feel bad for Austin Peay. Let's hope that they can win this morning and find a way to get back in the winners bracket. Maybe they'll get another shot at the Ducks. What else can you say, but that it was a bad call. Go Ducks, beat Fullerton!

That's why Coach Horton gets paid the big bucks to make these kinds of decisions. But the way Reed has pitched as of late and based off his performance last Saturday against Oregon State, I really would have felt better with Jake Reed as well. I do like having Keudell for Saturday though. Makes sense. Either way, Gold has done a fine job lately too. Ducks just need to help out the pitchers with some run support and not strand guys like they've been doing lately. GO DUCKS!

Three games do not make the entire season. Congrats to the Beavs on a terrific sweep. Body of work, conference reputation and RPI all go into the selection. Oregon earned it over the course of the entire season. Beaver fans know that and understand that better than most. Good luck to the Beavs in Baton Rouge. GO DUCKS!

Amen oldbeav...just wish the flamers would crawl into a hole and go away. Win with dignity and be gracious in defeat. Healthy competition is awesome and beating your rival is always fun. But being respectful and giving credit where credit is due is the essence of good sportsmanship. Good luck to both baseball programs in post season. GO DUCKS!
